Chapter 1998: Lighting the Marvelous Dream in the Heart (Part 28)

~11 min read 2,173 words

Quill pushed Rocket Raccoon, but Rocket Raccoon didn't even blink, still staring at Bucky's mechanical arm with a dull expression.

Bucky was a bit confused, but Shi Difen saw that Rocket was very interested in his prosthetic limb, so he also gently patted Bucky on the shoulder, signaling Bucky with his eyes.

Bucky looked at Rocket Raccoon's eyes carefully and showed a sudden realization. He looked left and right. There were no children paying attention here, so he gently pressed a button on his arm. With a click, the mechanical arm was taken off.

Bucky placed the mechanical arm in front of Rocket Raccoon. Rocket jumped from Quill's arms onto the table with a swoosh, opened his eyes wide to look at the beautiful mechanical arm, and then lifted it up with two small claws.

"It's too beautiful." Rocket Raccoon said.

Bucky was a bit surprised that a raccoon could speak, but didn't show it. He smiled and said, "Yes, Howard and I both think so. This is a miracle of human industry."

Rocket Raccoon gently stroked the surface of the mechanical arm with his claws. Gamora walked up, put a hand on Peter's shoulder and said, "Rocket seemed to be very interested in various prosthetic limbs before. When we went to the big portal of the Shi'ar Empire last time, he stared at the fake leg of the security captain for a long time."

Quill wanted to say something, but after a long time, he looked at Wei En and said, "Okay, get him the same one, and we'll do things for you."

"In fact, if you don't mind that it's used, this one can also be given to you." Bucky shook his head gently and said, "Howard just happened to plan to upgrade my configuration. He plans to replace the core components with molten steel. The strength of Vibranium is still a bit insufficient."

Shi Difen frowned slightly, looked at Bucky and said, "How can the strength be insufficient? Isn't the defensiveness of Vibranium the best? Just like my shield."

Bucky hesitated for a while and then said, "I also asked Howard this question, but he told me that your shield is not just Vibranium, but a Vibranium alloy produced by accident."

Shi Difen opened his eyes slightly, but also knew that now was not the time to talk about this. He looked at Wei En, and Wei En nodded at him, signaling that he had known about this for a long time.

Shi Difen felt a little relieved. After all, the shield was his indispensable weapon. If something really went wrong, he would lose at least half of his combat effectiveness.

"How are we going to help Rocket get this mechanical arm?" Gamora asked.

"It's very simple, you just need to..."

The plan was actually still proceeding according to what Wei En had originally formulated, but it became that the Guardians of the Galaxy and others told Yondu some ambiguous information. The most important thing was to tell Yondu that Thanos entered the Interstellar Security Committee and wanted to use the security system transformation of the Ring Sector to plot power, actually because he wanted to explore the origin of life.

Loki told Wei En about this, and Thanos didn't intend to hide it, but this matter didn't have such high importance in Thanos's heart, which could be called curiosity at best.

Thanos actually wanted to know what constituted the current universe and what truly created life, but since he had embarked on the path of civilization development, he still had to use civilized means to investigate.

This would give Yondu some leverage, at least letting Yondu know that Thanos is not entirely selfless; as long as there is still a desire for personal gain, he can be swayed, it just depends on whether Yondu truly has the ability.

Wei En had a certain understanding of the so-called origin of life in Thanos's mouth. In the comics, there was a magical race called the Celestials. Who did what was not important, but Wei En knew a fatal weakness of the Celestials because of the information gap of the traverser.

People who know a little about Marvel comics may know that there is a corpse of a Celestial on Earth. Since it will become a corpse, it shows that they are not completely invincible, and this kind of powerful person with weaknesses is exactly the ally Wei En hopes to get.

It is not accurate to say that they are allies. Mainly, Wei En needs a group of tool people, because as the stall of the Battleworld gets bigger and bigger, the number of programmers is clearly not enough.

Now the entire system of the Battleworld is hand-rubbed by Lucifer and Owen, among which Lucifer is a real world administrator, and Owen is a little bit worse, a bit like a veteran and a novice programmer.

And Wei En is the planner. The entire construction method, certain rules, and elements of the game are all formulated by Wei En.

That is to say, the entire Battleworld is equivalent to having only one planner and one and a half programmers. It was fine when there were only more than 100 players during the internal test period. Wei En could even spare time to participate in the game himself.

But if it enters the public beta version, the number of players will increase exponentially, and there will be coming and going. It is clearly not something that a few people can play. Even if Lucifer's programming skills are superb, he definitely needs a group of ordinary programmers to maintain the server.

Taking Marvel events as an example, limited to the settings of Marvel, OAA is equivalent to the company boss, the Living Tribunal Adam is equivalent to the company manager, the aggregate of the five gods is equivalent to the company department head, and the clones of the five gods existing in various single universes are equivalent to ordinary employees.

OAA is indeed known as omniscient and omnipotent, but if he could really complete everything by himself, he wouldn't need these employees. Lucifer, Wei En, and Owen are the same.

This world belongs to the boss, and also to the wage earners, but in the final analysis, it belongs to the wage earners. Without workers, even if capitalists have three heads and six arms, they cannot produce half a brick.

Since the Battleworld is to be done well, it is hard to avoid needing to recruit employees first, set up the most basic company framework, make some achievements and then go public, and then win over shareholders, absorb more funds, and make it bigger and stronger.

Wei En wants to contact Mickey or Walt Disney because they are characters behind the fourth wall and possess powerful permissions, which are very suitable to be company shareholders.

And he also has ideas about the Celestials, nothing more than fancying that the Celestials are strong enough, and they don't undertake any very important responsibilities in the universe. They belong to the cosmic street wanderers and are very suitable to be company employees.

This last point is particularly important. In fact, when it comes to easy-to-use tool people and programmers, of course, it is still Wei En's old friend Eternity, and people have many years of work experience, diligent and conscientious, and willing to work hard.

But it is a pity that hiring Celestials belongs to recruitment, and hiring Eternity belongs to poaching. People have jobs themselves. Wei En poached the five gods. What should the Marvel universe do?

To be more specific, the five gods are the universe itself. It is okay to poach employees, but is it a bit too much to shovel the company building away with the foundation?

Therefore, gods such as the clones of the five gods related to the structure of the Marvel universe itself are not allowed.

And those conceptual gods who can only exert their strength with the help of cosmic concepts are also not allowed, because the Battleworld is equivalent to a new universe, the encoding of concepts is not universal, and conceptual gods cannot exert their strength even if they have strength.

In this way, gods with relatively strong physical bodies such as the Asgardian gods have become the best choice. It is a pity that the strength of the Aesir is not enough. Although they are unique in interstellar civilization, they are still a bit short of meaning when placed in the multiverse of two big worlds.

If they were all of the strength of Odin, the Skyfather level, it would be fine. It is a pity that so far, there is only one Odin.

But this has to talk about the duel between Odin and a member of the Celestials. Back then, Odin drove the Destroyer armor to fight against a group of Celestials. Although it was not a complete victory, he barely resisted.

This conversely shows that there is really a race of people who are all Skyfathers, which just happens to meet the strength requirements of the Battleworld programmers.

In fact, such races in the universe are rare, but not non-existent. But the most important reason why Wei En chose the Celestials is that the Celestials have a fatal weakness.

It was said before that there is a corpse of a Celestial left on Earth, so how did he die?

Although it sounds a bit incredible, this member of the Celestials died of illness.

That's right, although almost all of them have the strength of the Skyfather level, they will get sick, and they will get terminal illnesses, and then they will die on Earth helplessly.

This terrifying disease that makes the Celestials talk about it actually belongs to a type of viral infection, somewhat like a human viral cold, and this virus is called the Cosmic Locust.

Pay attention to distinguish between several types of insect races in the universe. The Annihilation insect race comes from the anti-matter universe, and its biggest demand is to invade the positive matter universe to obtain survival resources. The hive parasite insect race that once originated from Hydra relies on parasitizing in the bodies of other races to multiply and is the nemesis of the cosmic agent symbiote.

And this kind of Cosmic Locust likes to gnaw on other planets the most. In their eyes, planets are large chocolate beans, and drilling in is a click-click-click gnawing.

Then one day a smart Cosmic Locust discovered that there was a race called the Celestials in the universe, and their taste was like mixed-filling meatballs, which were not only better than chocolate beans, but also more nutritious than chocolate beans, and particularly easy to gnaw.

This news spread from ten to ten among the Cosmic Locusts, and the Celestials had bad luck and were chased by the Cosmic Locusts and gnawed violently.

It is a pity that this powerful race cannot deal with this small insect, which is a bit like humans with advanced technology cannot deal with viral colds. The so-called treatment means are actually just suppressing the feeling of discomfort, and then waiting for the immune system to kill the virus itself, commonly known as listening to fate.

But the Celestials being infected with Cosmic Locusts is much more serious than humans being infected with viral colds. About 4 billion years ago, an unlucky guy infected by Cosmic Locusts, a member of the Celestials called the Progenitor Celestial, was dizzy because of the fever, didn't see the road clearly, and hit Earth with his head.

After coming to Earth, they started vomiting and diarrhea. They were already sick, and they hit it. Earth, which was still in the primitive era, obviously couldn't deal with this virus, so these unlucky guys died on Earth.

And his vomit, blood, and parts of his corpse became the opportunity for Earth's life. Many species on Earth were born on his corpse, which also created the myth and legend of Kua Fu chasing the sun in the Eastern countries of Marvel Earth.

Of course, a person was lost in the clan, and the Celestials definitely wanted to find him. They found it and found it to Earth, but Earth is Odin's territory, so Odin fought them.

In the process of fighting, a Celestial called the "First Firmament" among the Celestials discovered that Earth is really a magical place. The magnetic field of this planet has a magical inhibitory effect on Cosmic Locusts. The Cosmic Locusts in the body of the dead original Celestial were trapped in the center of the Earth and couldn't come out.

Because of this, the Celestials who arrived left without doing anything. After all, if they wanted to take away the corpse of the unlucky guy and smash Earth open, the locusts would also run out, and everyone would have to finish.

But Wei En is not so kind. He has long known where the locusts in the center of the Earth are. ===== CHAPTER 1999 =====
